From Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron in France’s Nuits-Saint-Georges, the Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Boudots 2022 is a refined 100% Pinot Noir sourced from a 0.3-hectare parcel in the Aux Boudots Premier Cru vineyard on the border with Vosne-Romanée, featuring clay-limestone soils that impart vibrancy and finesse. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2022 vintage—marked by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet elegant fruit—undergo whole-cluster fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 12-18 months' aging in French oak barrels (20-30% new) to enhance texture and purity. As a family estate with roots to the Noëllat domaine, emphasizing organic farming since 1991, this production yields a ruby red wine with garnet edges and poised elegance.
Tasting Notes A refined, vibrant Nuits-Saint-Georges with pure red cherry and raspberry fruit, layered with violet, spice, and earthy undertones, offering a medium-bodied palate of fine tannins, bright acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish. The nose reveals raspberry, red cherry, and hints of violet, spice, and forest floor. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and harmonious, with fine tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of juicy red berries, earth, and a touch of minerality, leading to a long, graceful finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Boudots earned 92 points from Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy) for its pure fruit and refined structure.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 14-16°C with 30-45 minutes of decanting to enhance aromas. Ideal with roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, or charcuterie. Enjoy now through 2035, developing greater earthy and silky nuances over time.
